Loaner Items Rules and Regulations

To ensure the best use of the items available, we request all who reserve an item from Engineering Network Services to read and follow these rules and regulations.

1. You may pick up your items from the ENS Help Desk in Glover 211 beginning at 9 a.m. the first day of your reservation, and they are due back by 4:30 p.m. the last day of your reservation. (If the last day of the reservation falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the item is due back by 8:30 a.m. on Monday.) Please note that the ENS offices are closed on Saturday and Sunday, so do not plan to pick up or drop off items on those days. A CSU ID is required for pickup. If you are picking up an item for someone else, the person reserving the item MUST contact the ENS Help Desk to approve the pickup ahead of time.

2. These items are intended as temporary loans. The loan tool will restrict how long the items can be checked out. At any given time, one laptop and one projector may be reserved for up to two weeks; one laptop and one projector may be reserved for one week; and all remaining equipment may only be checked out for a maximum of three days. If someone else has the "two week" laptop reservation spot, for example, you will not be able to borrow it for the two full weeks. Finally, you are only allowed to check items out for up to 5 weeks each semester. We can waive these restrictions under very rare circumstances. Please contact the ENS Help Desk to request an extension.

3. Loaner materials are in high demand, so please return them promptly. If you have an item that is more than 24 hours overdue, we will lock your engineering account until you return the item. Likewise, if you have an item that someone else has reserved and is waiting for, we will lock your account. If you know you're going to be late returning an item, please contact us ahead of time and at let us know why, or arrange an extension, so that we can keep the system from letting anyone else attempt to reserve an item that isn't available. Learn more about policy violations here.

4. Do not install software on any of the laptops. Generally, these laptops contain only communications and office productivity software, and do not contain engineering-specific software. Under unusual circumstances, we may consider installing additional software, but we must receive the request ahead of time and there must be a compelling reason to do so. Contact the ENS Help Desk to request special software needs. Be sure to plan well in advance!

5. If you regularly return items late, damage the equipment, or break any other rules regarding the loaner items, ENS reserves the right to deny all future loan requests to you.

6. If you lose or break any ENS loaner item, you are responsible for the cost of repairing or replacing that item. This includes laptops, tablets, projectors, and any peripheral items such as mice, power chargers, cables, and carrying cases.
